I was diagnosed with ODD as a kid and was prescribed Ritalin. I hated being on Ritalin because it made me feel unenthusiastic about anything and killed my appetite. My older brother stole my 60 day supply when I was 10 and sold it for heroin money. Insurance wouldn't pay for a refill so that's when my family decided I was magically cured! I meet adults today who self diagnose with ADHD so they can get Ritalin or something I suppose. They want to take stimulants to be more efficient at work or have more energy at home, but I can't imagine wanting to feel that way all the time. I HATED being on Ritalin, made me feel like a zombie. |

Those people most likely don't feel like zombies and just feel normal (or better). ADHD medication is extremely personal, some people feel normal, others feel better, and some feel terrible on any given medication.
